Stags Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 37.5cl Half Bottle

Description

Stags Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon presented in a 37.5cl half bottle.

Stags Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon is made with non estate fruit, sourced from a select few Napa Valley vineyards, with some SLWC estate fruit. The wine expresses both regional character and the signature style of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Artemis was first released in 2001 and is named for the Greek Goddess of the Hunt.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was established by Warren Winiarski in 1970, located at the end of the Silverado Trail, in what is now known as the Stag’s Leap District. The 44 acre property was then a prune orchard and was replanted with Cabernet Sauvignon and a little Merlot. It remained in the Winiarski family when, in 2007, it was sold to Chateau Ste Michelle and Marchese Antinori Srl (famous for their joint ventures and wine-making in Washington State and Italy respectively).

Stags Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of the skill of the blender, taking wine from different sources and producing a wine with both SLWC style and Napa Valley character. The 2018 is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec. The wine was aged for 15 months in 40% new oak (35% new French Oak; 5% new American Oak) with the balance in older oak barrels.

Also available in 75cl bottles.
